The Hockey Captain’s Unwanted Wife (Blair and Grayson) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

LIVIA-

Our fathers sent us to Silverhaven Circuit.

That was where Nico practiced when he was home. A private track in the hills above the coast

Blair could not come. She had a doctor’s appointment today.

It was just the two of us and a handful of crew in case of emergencies.

All I could think about was Roman.

How long it had been? How had he not tried to contact me once?

I was refusing to contact him after telling him he had finally gotten his wish. How would it look if I messaged first? I could not do it. So I waited…and waited…and waited.

Nico’s car went past in front of me at incredible speed.

I had never been one to watch anything to do with Fl. In person it was actually quite entertaining to watch. It had me wondering how it felt to actually be in the car while it was moving at that speed.

When he came out of the last corner the sound hit my ears, and I actually took a step back from the fence.

I could not deny how good he was. Amazing, actually.

He mashed late on the brakes into the tight elbow corner, the rear stepping out a fraction and then sticking as if he had asked it to behave and it had listened.

My mouth actually went in an ‘o’.

I was surprisingly impressed. Even though Nico irritated me, he was quite talented.

He was a totally different person on the track. It felt like he was committed to the speed.

I almost respected him.

I almost smiled.

Then I remembered why we were here.

I inwardly groaned. So far, Grayson hadn’t managed to convince our fathers to stop the wedding. It was still on. Full speed.

Still. I watched another lap because I could not help it. The car clipped the apex so close my heart skipped a beat.

“Monroe.”

I froze. That couldn’t be. Yet it was.

The Hockey Captain’s Unwanted Wite

Luca’s voice.

pun around. Luca Vescari. Charlotte beside him in sunglasses, petite, brunette hair in a knot, watching melike she already knew this was a bad idea.

Stupid question, what were they doing here?

I inwardly groaned. He was an F1 driver. He trained here too. Of course the universe would put every problem I had on the same stretch of asphalt.

“Please keep your distance.”

“Ouch.” Luca put a hand to his chest. “I have to admit. That hurts. I brought peace offerings and everything. Charlotte. My best behavior. A face that says I come in peace.”

“Your face brings everything but peace. I am learning that the hard way.”

Charlotte stepped forward, softer than him. “I’m sorry about everything. I can talk to your father too, if you want. I was in the suite. I can say that. Nothing happened. I was there. And trust me, I know when Luca is having the time of his life with a girl.”

Luca rubbed the back of his head in response.

“Oh, fuck no.”

That was Nico’s voice behind me. I had not even heard him stop racing.

His helmet was off. Hair smashed. Suit down to the waist. Sweat at his temple.

“Luca.” He growled it. “You are not making this worse. Step aside.”

“Hey,” Luca said. “I actually like her. I’m not here to make things worse. I am here to help in whatever way 1

can.”

“You actually like her? Congratulations. Seems you are capable of feelings after all. But that does not help us in the least.”
